VISION AND MISSION
Vision: By 2017, The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security shall have capacitated its clientele towards sustainable and commercialized agricultural production to
enhance food and nutrition security
Mission: The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security is committed to promoting sustainable production for attainment of national food security through
development and implementation of relevant agricultural policies, strategies, innovations and programmes that address the sectoral priorities
MEDIUM TERM PRIORITY AREAS
Priority Area Title & Description: Most Relevant Ministerial Objective(s)
01 Increase cereal crop production and enhance food and nutrition
Security
About 70% of grain crops consumed in Lesotho is imported, hence a need to
reduce it gradually. The Ministry will ensure that agricultural inputs are available
on time in order to enable farmers increase production to at least meet local
demand for staple food products. The Ministry will also provide relevant technical
advice to farmers so as to increase agricultural production and productivity as well
as improve nutrition. Lesotho Demographic and Health Survey (LDHS) 2009
shows that at national level 39% of children under age 5 are stunted (Height for
age, it reflects chronic malnutrition), 4% are wasted (Weight for height, it reflects
acute malnutrition) and 13% are underweight (Weight for age, it reflects chronic
or acute malnutrition or a combination of both).
01 - To increase agricultural production and productivity
02 Increase production of High Value crops, livestock and cottage
industry products
The Ministry will undertake programmes that will support production of high
value crops, livestock and cottage industry products. Such programmes will
include inter alia improved quality of wool and mohair, processing of food crops
(food preservation) & livestock products etc. In fact, programmes to be pursued
under this priority areas would support the commercialization policy objective of
the Ministry as spelled out in its Strategic plan, the 2012/13 2016/17 NSDP and
Budget Strategy Paper.
03 - To increase commercialisation and diversification of agriculture production
03 Prevent and control animals & crop diseases, parasites and pests
Livestock diseases and parasites as well as crops pests (e.g. army worm) and
diseases (e.g. fungi in protected agriculture) adversely affect agricultural
02- To reduce vulnerability and enhance management of risk in agriculture
production

production, especially with the current situation of climate changes. The Ministry
aims at prevention and controlling diseases, pests and parasites through various
strategies like continuous surveillance of Food and Mouth Diseases (FMD),
awareness campaigns on possible pests that could emerge and other possible
controlling mechanisms. These diseases control measures will safeguard public
health by tracking animal diseases transmission to human and protecting
consumers from food related health.
04 Improve farmers institutions, extension services, agricultural
technologies, innovation and training
Lesotho agriculture is characterized by a large number of smallholder farmers
under subsistence farming. An intensive training on transforming agriculture in
the country towards commercialization will highly be emphasized for farmers and
extension services. Agriculture will be tackled in a way that it should result in an
increased income of the farming community in the face of prevailing climatic
condition. Development of value chain for high value products is important to
sustain commercialization of agriculture, as a result farmers at all level and
extension service will be strengthened. Moreover, training modules will be
improved and agricultural technologies developed and promoted.
03 - To increase commercialisation and diversification of agriculture production
ACHIEVEMENTS
1. 164 Grants awarded across 5 districts Berea, Leribe, Mafeteng, Botha-Bothe and Maseru (With over 12,000 direct beneficiaries), 53 Agriculture Investment
Plans Completed, and at implementation phase (53 Productive Investment Groups to date, 37 Natural Resources Management Plans and 36 Capacity building
Plans.
2. In line with commercialization Agric policy, about 8 farmers are engaged in bean seed multiplication on an area of 14.94 Ha at Qholaqhoe and Khukhune
Resource centres production
3. The introduction of locally produced improved maize seed varieties (64 seed producers) has increased business opportunities and farmers choice of varieties thus
high chances of increased production
4. Analysis is on-going on different methods of conservation agriculture that will help improve agriculture that will help improve production and productivity,
given the prevailing effects of climate change. Collaboration with FAO, MAFS has trained 18,000 farmers are engaged in CA throughout selected pilot districts
such as Mohale's Hoek, Botha-Bothe, etc. For example, in Botha-Bothe, 82.9 Ha under CA with 542 farmers engaged
5. The MAFS has put more focus on increased quality of Wool and Mohair produced in the country in recent years. In 2014, Mohair from Lesotho was sold at
M136.48 per kilogram and wool was sold at M287 per kilogram. These were the best ever for Lesotho in trade History
6. The Ministry’s Department of Crops has installed 45 Greenhouses and 45 shade nets for a total production capacity of 450 tons of HVC
7. 560 farmers engaged in Mushroom Production - on average each farmer is producing on 2 meter squared plot. Hence 32 tons of fresh mushrooms expected from
these farmers
8. The total land under irrigation has increased from 130 hectares to 195.4 hectares in 2015/16 and 2016/17 BFP respectively. As a matter of act, 13650 tons of
vegetables is expected from this land
9. Stunting levels reduced by 6% (from 39%-33%) according to Lesotho Demographic Household Survey of 2009-2014
